Thanks for being real positive guys about a track putting up huge money for pavement racing. Casey and LORP is stepping up big time, (isn't this the biggest Crown race payout)
Hopefully all the folks that have wanted to see pavement sprints and midgets attend IRP tonight. Practicing now, quals at 4:30 racing at 7. 20+ cars each.
Sprint cars are supposed to be the baddest SOB's and not for everyone. Plenty of different divisions now to race weekly. 410's should be the ONLY engine in sprints....
Was wondering if anyone had part numbers for Fontana 4 cylinder gaskets. Valve cover, intake, exhaust? Anything would be helpful, of if you have source were you buy from.
I would wonder how the pump wear would be with a alky. I would also be cautious as they indicate rpm at 1750. Pump gpm would be based on engine ci likely 3.5 to 4.5
That looks like it would be a pretty quick track, hopefully they are very diligent in safety checking chassis's/wheels pavement is much tougher on equipment.
I don't know my vintage parts well.
Are your 3 pins 5/8" dia? Most pavement sprint cars are running 3 5/8's studs and nuts on LF tires, and any that have the single nut squash plate setup typical...

NBC gold is the only provider for practice coverage, I've heard it is good coverage. It also gets you coverage the rest the season as well. But I really like the IndyCar Radio guys. I just need audio...
I'm under 50 and not a fan of just seeing a helmet. Seeing a driver work the wheel shows a lot of what the car is doing, and how smooth or not they are.
